Awe, I agree. This is always one of the most exciting things on the farm. And then Bamboo! He's doing such a good job. Fingers crossed for a great outcome!
Seeing Bamboo sit on on eggs made me emotional. I just remember watching when y’all hatched him out and all the struggles you’ve been through getting him to breed! And look at him now 🥺
After watching you hatch eggs for years , and a million hours of other YT vids....I am gathering supplies. I pick up my Silkie eggs from a show breeder Jan 21st. Plan in buying 5 or 6. I hope to be the mother of 2-3 silkies by Valentines day
Next time when you are planning to go out for a while, especially in winter. Put your Emus in the pen, that way if a blizzard hits? They'll be safe, warm and dry and so will the eggs they possibly will lay. Also don't leave ANY of the eggs out for them to sit on, they will 100% freeze and crack. If you wish to hatch as many as you can then don't do that.
My favorite channel on You tube. So happy that you share with us. I appreciate you all so much. God bless you, your family, your animals and you farm. You're the best!❤
The reason they leave the eggs out in the open & don't sit on them much is coz emus are from Australia which means when they breed it's usually (in Australia) hot weather so they don't need to keep them as warm all the time. I feel sad for them coz snow isn't something they'd experience often in Australia.
@bookish_heather yeah I know I live in Australia. The Emu don't generally live in those areas though & its definitely not winter & snowy when they are in egg laying season.
@@ryanmcmahon3555 Distribution The Emu is found only in Australia. It lives throughout most of the continent, ranging from coastal regions to high in the Snowy Mountains. Emus were once found in Tasmania, but were exterminated soon after Europeans arrived. Two dwarf species of emus that lived on Kangaroo Island and King Island also became extinct. Taken from Australian museum. I was curious too so I tried to find reputable resources to search online
@MrBodyguard380 So what, people are allowed to have pets why shouldn't those pets be Emus? I could say the same thing you just said but about Cats instead since all they do is kill native wildlife & look cute, why should people own cats, since they're useless? Dogs protect & raise alarm cats do nothing, why should people own cats?
So happy for Bamboo and Peekaboo! This is what you hatched them for. Bamboo babies, how exciting!! While it was sad when he became aggressive, he just matured and was ready to be an active male which is how it should be. Gosh, they almost need a larger heated greenhouse-warmed type enclosure - building to successfully hatch the babies themselves. But what can you do, Australia and our seasons are switched.😟. I am not sure if you have ever told us what the plan is for all these emu babies if they hatch?
I’ve been watching y’all’s channel for 6ish years now give or take, it’s so good to see bamboo laying on eggs 🥰 it warms my heart to see how much your farm and family has grown over the years! Hoping for a great turn out with these eggs 🥹 bamboo being a dad makes me way too happy! Remembering how little he was when he hatched to seeing him try to hatch his own babies is such beautiful evidence of the circle of life.
It amazes me that their natural born instinct is so strong that they still lay their eggs in our winter which is their native homes summer. You would think emus hatched here would just adapt to our seasons and lay eggs in our summer. But no their natural instinct is to lay according to their native homelands seasons. That’s fascinating!! I can’t believe Bamboo is done it. We thought he would forever be a to much of a daddy’s boy to get a mate and fertilize her eggs. I can’t wait for them to hatch!!!!
@@whitehouseonthehill I can't find anything on them switching to spring/summer laying, I just don't think it's in their biology. It's not apples to apples, but the introduced deer in Australia rut in the summer/spring rather than the winter and they've been there for generations. You'd think they'd change, especially as mammals are so adaptable, but they still haven't. For laying season, I'd maybe consider restricting their active area so you can concentrate eggs, but I'm not sure how upset they'd be with that arrangement.
So excited for you! I was willing to be late for work to see this. Thankfully I still have 15 mins before I have to leave. Fingers crossed for healthy babies this year.
Probably because the emu would at a clutch and then sit on their eggs, but taking them constantly before they can do that will obviously stop them from sitting. Additionally they are native to Australia, which means they lay in summer, which means the eggs would never freeze. Finally, all these emus are incubator hatched I believe, which sometimes causes birds to looses their motherly instinct.
I'm actually surprised you don't free range some of the roosters or chickens in the horse pasture.. they will help keep flies down and break up the horse manure
so what im getting from this video the eggs got incubated on december 2nd and in just 2 weeks theyre about to hatch. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NEW EMUS MAYBE???
With emu eggs that don’t hatch, if you can drain out the eggshell and keep it mostly intact, you can sell the shells for artists to carve. They are beautiful.
Laying of those emus eggs is an awesome news .I hope all emus eggs would be hatched and you will be able to grow your emus flocks. Thanks for your efforts, guys
You need to remember these birds aren’t as domesticated as your average chicken. If you want them to sit on their eggs, leave them alone as much as possible. Don’t push them around and film their eggs and chicks. Let them do their thing, I’ve had much higher success rate doing it that way with other more wilder birds.
I get so darn excited hatching my Quail. This, WOW. . I would probably not sleep as much watching the eggs. Hope you guys get a decent hatch rate. . Exciting times coming up.
Is the smaller house, that was in the emu area for peekaboo, bolted to the ground? Because maybe you can find a way to move it to the horse area? Or would that pose problems with the horses?
Congratulations but I wish the same thing that happened to me too because we were trying to hatch emu eggs and chicken eggs but only the chicken eggs survived and I really wanted emu egg
So excited for you guys! I still remember when Bamboo was a little baby and now is going to be a dad! One question. Could they be encouraged to sit on eggs in a certain spot if you made a pile of fake eggs?
I forgot you existed I haven’t seen one of your videos since 6 years ago until till you popped up on my feed, love you videos keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unfortunately Emus want to lay during the coldest time where you are. Bamboo will be a very unusual bird to be able to hatch and rear new babies in sub-freezing temperatures!
You guys inspired me and my wife to start our farm we have chickens,ducks,geese,and goats we would love to add emu to our farm do you guys have any suggestions on where to get some
Awesome....Eggs! I would love to see all the eggs hatch with viable baby emu's. I know there's a very large possibility it won't happen. I pray for at least 1 healthy baby. 😊 This is just too cool.
I hope you do have a good chance of hatching all them exist time you guys have waited so long and you’ve tried multiple times. I can’t wait to see what hatches.🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
He collected a ton of them they just weren’t viable eggs. So the couple he allowed Bert to sit on probably only had the two viable that hatched. He only left those with him because he wanted to see if it was possible for them to hatch the eggs out themselves. Incubating emu eggs is not an easy task. He would never know if they could if he didn’t let them try. A being that 2024 was the year they started getting some fertile eggs finally I think it was the perfect time to experiment whether they can’t hatch them or he has to collect an incubate. The only thing he should’ve done differently was when he left the baby with Bert. He shouldn’t have probably done that and it may have lived.
Seeing from when Bamboo was a chick to when he was adolescent and race the boys around the farm to when you got the blonde girls and he had anxiety about and would stick to Jake like glue to when the girls were picking on him to now! Seeing his transformation from little chick running around in a homemade emu diaper to a full grown male and the smartest and best emu daddy! It has really been something.
So exciting !! Bamboo is finally coming into his own. ❤ Can you imagine if all 12 eggs hatch ? You’re gonna be over run in a heartbeat ! 😂
unlikely in those super cold temp but lets see
Getting to finally watch Bamboo be a dad brought tears to my eyes! Yes!!!❤🎉
Awe, I agree. This is always one of the most exciting things on the farm. And then Bamboo! He's doing such a good job. Fingers crossed for a great outcome!

Good for you, have fun raising them😊

In the winter in Australia some places are close to Antarctica…. Think Canada weather

I don’t see any reason for anyone to have Emus. They aren’t a food source in the USA.

Not fully sure… would most likely raise the babies to eventually sell since we wouldn’t want to raise related emus together longterm.

Yayyyyyyy! I'm watching you since you hatched bamboo! Felt so good seeing him sit on the eggs🐣❤❤❤
I see a couple blonde emus in our future. Beautiful birds...
Are they ditzier than regular? Like ohmahgawd!
So excited for you! I was willing to be late for work to see this. Thankfully I still have 15 mins before I have to leave. Fingers crossed for healthy babies this year.
Oh wow. It's winter in northern hemisphere, but summer in southern. Is that why emu starts brooding?
Absolutely amazing footage! It's hard to believe how they captured such incredible moments.
Y’all are the best UA-camrs!! Your content is clean and family friendly.❤❤❤ You are definitely my favorite UA-camrs!
Praying for all of your birds to stay nice and warm.
I knew it. I always knew bamboo and peak a boo would pair perfectly
Hi i love White House on the hill
Super nice to see Bamboo sitting on the eggs......Y'all got 12 Emu eggs more.......Thank y'all and God Bless.....
Old F-4 pilot Shoe🇺🇸
So excited for this years emu hatching!! ❤🎉
Maybe some cameras spread out through the pasture where the emus have been laying would help you figure out where the best place to put shelters!
From running around in special little nappies to finally being a dad, goodluck Bamboo xxx
6:46 My dumb a** really thought That the Emus actually laid their eggs there😭
Oh, wow, that's great. I hope you get a really successful hatch in the incubator this year and a few with Bamboo, too.
So happy bamboo getting some and not thinking he's a human lol
I am amazed at the Emu's way of taking care of their eggs...If you would not help them, there specie would disappear!!!🤪
Emus are native to Australia which has a much warmer climate.
Probably because the emu would at a clutch and then sit on their eggs, but taking them constantly before they can do that will obviously stop them from sitting.

@@Lupin788 poor little ones... give them my love!💖💞💖
Was eagerly waiting for your video.. Thank you so much❤😊
I'm actually surprised you don't free range some of the roosters or chickens in the horse pasture.. they will help keep flies down and break up the horse manure
The gaps in the fence are big enough for chickens to escape through
The chickens would also attract predators
i am so happy to see all those eggs, praying all will hatch 🙏
so what im getting from this video the eggs got incubated on december 2nd and in just 2 weeks theyre about to hatch. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NEW EMUS MAYBE???

❤ love the video. God bless yall and all your fur and feather babies.
Must admit it was the emus that got me hooked to the channel! Fingers crossed for babies!
Laying of those emus eggs is an awesome news .I hope all emus eggs would be hatched and you will be able to grow your emus flocks. Thanks for your efforts, guys
In Australia.. where our emus live.. it doesn't get as cold as it would there.

So exciting! Hopefully some will hatch! ❤
How exciting for you guys and Catherine from G&G farms having issues with getting them to hatch
I love your videos! I was also just asking, could you maybe make a video about hatching runner ducks in April. I would love it!❤
Best wishes for lots of baby emus!
I hope and pray 🙏 that you have a better result this year love u guys and yore little family
Happy New Year to White House on the Hill! 🤍🤍🤍
So much fun to watch your Emu videos!

Good to see Bamboo again!
So excited for you guys. Can't wait for the update.
I get so darn excited hatching my Quail. This, WOW. . I would probably not sleep as much watching the eggs. Hope you guys get a decent hatch rate. . Exciting times coming up.

Awesome. I hope you get babies.
Love you guys I've been watching your channel for years
So excited for you guys! I still remember when Bamboo was a little baby and now is going to be a dad!
One question. Could they be encouraged to sit on eggs in a certain spot if you made a pile of fake eggs?
I forgot you existed I haven’t seen one of your videos since 6 years ago until till you popped up on my feed, love you videos keep doing what you’re doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In 6 years??? Yeah, it's been awhile lol
I always look forward to your vlogs. You guys stand far above the average vlogs nowadays on UA-cam. Thank You!
Congrats on the Emu eggs .... crossing my fingers that you get a bunch to hatch
Thank you!
Could you use a heating pad under the nest to keep them warm when they’re off them?
good job bamboo. so exciting.
Good luck with the hatch
1st of I parys for you all god bless your family 💝 my dream lifestyle your living ❤ so good
Finally Bamboo is sitting on the eggs . Now it will be good to see others sitting on eggs and others laying eggs .
A Bamboo baby!!! 🥳 🩵
Beautiful journey ❤
Awesome! Hope you can get more horses! Adeline 11 California
Unfortunately Emus want to lay during the coldest time where you are. Bamboo will be a very unusual bird to be able to hatch and rear new babies in sub-freezing temperatures!
Good night, I love you guys!!!
nice rebrand!
Congratulations 👍
Hi, I love your videos. I can’t wait for more baby emu I just had one question what makes an emu egg green?
You all are really living the dream!
You guys inspired me and my wife to start our farm we have chickens,ducks,geese,and goats we would love to add emu to our farm do you guys have any suggestions on where to get some
Are the white emus rare?
Awesome....Eggs! I would love to see all the eggs hatch with viable baby emu's. I know there's a very large possibility it won't happen. I pray for at least 1 healthy baby. 😊 This is just too cool.
This is so exciting 12 eggs! I hope that most of them hatch and be healthy.
One thing to be careful of. Horses might get curious about the eggs and step on them or try to eat them just exploring the new object in the pasture.
Oh, that’s so exciting! I really hope you have a good hatch rate this year
ohhh i'm so excited for you guys
Yay Bamboo your finally gonna be a daddy too🎉
12 off 12 wourd be great,but i hope for minimum 6 lets hope for the best .
Can't wait for the babies 😃
Here we go again,hope finally it pays off.
Glad things are progressing for the emu's.
I hope you do have a good chance of hatching all them exist time you guys have waited so long and you’ve tried multiple times. I can’t wait to see what hatches.🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now don't be a foul, collect the eggs and incubate them! Last year you left them there to rout!

I love these videos ❤❤
G&G farms on you tube are trying to hatch emu eggs in Alabama. No luck so far.
There's a simple thought, in the middle of winter, poor. Emu's it's too Cold ...
Seeing from when Bamboo was a chick to when he was adolescent and race the boys around the farm to when you got the blonde girls and he had anxiety about and would stick to Jake like glue to when the girls were picking on him to now!
